He has worked primarily in classical and Shakespearean theatre, particularly with the Owle Schreame theatre company, which he founded in 2008.[1][2] He received an Off-West End award in 2013,[3] and established the Owle Schreame Awards in 2014.[4]

The Owle Schreame theatre company

Stratford founded the Owle Schreame theatre company in 2008 in Cambridge. In 2011 he produced, directed and performed in Measure for Measure on the site of the former Rose Theatre.[5][6] In 2013 the company's "Cannibal Valour" programme at St Giles-in-the-Fields in Camden consisted of The Unfortunate Mother by Thomas Nabbes (1640) and two other Renaissance plays,[7] Honoria and Mammon by James Shirley (1659) and Bussy D'Ambois by George Chapman. Stratford played the title character in Bussy D'Ambois.[8] In 2015 the company performed Ralph Roister Doister, written in 1553 by Nicholas Udall and thought to be the earliest surviving English comedy, at the Bread & Roses pub in Clapham; Stratford played the title role.[9]
